4.0 star ratingRoom on 8th floor excellent; fine views from top of hotel; pool & sun deck a bonus. Excellent location - would go again.We changed our room after the first night because it opened out an inner courtyard which we found claustrophobic; also it was very noisey as a main water down pipe went through the room from all the bathrooms above!04 October 2008

4.5 star ratingvery pleasant stay - only negative an overpriced breakfast (14.98 euros)04 April 2009
5.0 star ratingI simply cannot believe the value for money! It was more than perfect and, although I am already a huge fan of Easyjet, I have already told my friends about the excellent experience and I am a greater supporter now!29 April 2009
4.5 star ratingA great, centrally positioned, hotel offering nice clean rooms at an affordable price. Very knowledgable and helpful reception staff who were always willing to give tourist advice.Breakfast room was too busy - people had to queue to be seated!06 May 2009

5.0 star ratingRooms at the front of the hotel are very noisy with traffic from the road.30 May 2009
5.0 star ratingThe hotel was excellent. Room really good size, very clean and bed really comfortable. We did not eat at the hotel so unable to comment on the food, but judging by everything else, I am sure would have been very good. The pool, solarium and gym were excellent - so wonderfully clean and such a bonus to have. We really enjoyed our stay, would love to go back and recommend to all.09 June 2009
4.5 star ratingHelpful and pleasant staff. Comfortable beds and spotless rooms. The quality and variety of the breakfast buffet was excellent.When we first visited the hotel we had a down pipe in the corner of our windowless inside room and could hear the plumbing noises from rooms above us. On our subsequent visit we were lucky enough to be given a front view room without the noise of the pipe. The price of the breakfast buffet was too high and on our last visit we eat outside the hotel for half the cost.23 September 2009
4.5 star ratingOverall - very goodNeed to improve the bar and breakfast menu31 December 2010
5.0 star ratingThe Barcelona Universal was the perfect hotel for our needs. It has the Metro outside the front door and it was very central for a wide variety of restaurants and cares. 25 June 2012
4.0 star ratingTrevlig och serviceinriktad personal. Mycket bra frukostbuffe. Centralt läge, 5-10min promenad till Ramblan. Mysig pool på taket.Vi bodde två personer i ett dubbelrum men fick endast tvål/tandkräm etc. för en person varje dag så vi blev tvungna att fråga efter mer hela tiden. Om ni bor här ta med eget schampo och egen tandkräm etc. I badrummet läckte det ut vatten på golvet från badkaret när man dushade. Par på semester10 August 2012
5.0 star ratingThe only negative thing was the noise of the busy street outside the hotel. However the staff were very helpful with my request to move rooms to the rear of the hotel, which was much quieter.27 February 2013
4.5 star ratingBra centralt läge. Rent och snyggt både på rummen och i alla andra områden av hotellet. Tryggt.17 April 2013
3.5 star ratinggood location; you can reach many points of interest by walk; metro nearby (only few seconds); friendly staff; almost clean roomseven in 7th floor you hear loud noise from the streets; breakfast is not worth the money; price per night is too highStefH21 October 2015
5.0 star ratingGreat location for walking to the centre or the coast- 10 mins. Great views from the roof bar area. Taxi rank just outside.Anonymous 26 April 2017
4.5 star ratingLovely staff, particularly in the bar and on the roof terrace. Food was good, loved the breakfast. The food was plentiful, of good quality and fresh and the staff were attentive in ensuring the area was kept clean at all times. The roof terrace was really lovely to have a drink and relax at the end of a busy day sightseeing. Rooms were of a good size. Location was good close to the metro and within walking distance of many attractions. The rooms need a little more thought. The mirror was positioned in a dark area by the door with no plug point close by, so not good for using straighteners or applying make up. The TV and the kettle shared a single plug point, so you couldn't boil the kettle and watch the TV at the same time! Bathroom was a bit tired, sink was cracked and the bath was also badly marked. Our room was cleaned very late in the day, so when we returned to the hotel in the late afternoon, it was being cleaned on both days. Would be good to have a decaf option of coffee in the room.
